Major problem... my trusty Dell inspirion 9100 wont boot using SP3 XP Pro.....
the story goes like this:
i was on the net facebook and what not, i look at my clock and i was expected to be out on the town in like 5 mins. so i think that i will come home and continue comptuing so i only standby.... so about 5 hours later i come home quite drunk and i want to watch some funny youtube things (as you do). and my comp was running high CPU and the video was all choppy. so i figure i'll restart.... so i turn off completley then turn back on.. when i start up i have like the dell thing on the screen with a loading bar underneath....
this completes like normal then it is ment to come up on the windows logo but no, black screen with a white horozontal coursor like thing just blinking away at me...
that is my problem and this is what i have try so far. gone into recovery console done the 'chkdsk' 'chkdsk /p' and 'chkdsk /p /r' so after trying them i restart each time.. nothing happens... so i look on the net for a solution and it says i should go into the windows setup thing... so i do that, and it takes ages to complete and a few time it comes up with ' (a file) ' cannot copy press enter to restart or esc to skip. so i press enter for all of them maybe 5 and the last one i pressed enter about 5 time then it still didnt work so i press esc to skip.. still dosent work
That is my problem, i would love a hand with it. i'm pretty good with computers so it wont be too frustration for you to help me.
anyways thanks guys i appreciate it!
